| 0:00.0 | From the New York Times, I'm Rachel Abrams, and this is the Daily. |
| 0:05.0 | The presidential campaign is in its final week, and one thing still remains true. |
| 0:11.0 | The election is probably going to come down to just a |
| 0:14.2 | handful of voters in a few swing states. Today, my colleagues Jessica Chung and |
| 0:19.5 | Jonathan Swan take us inside Donald Trump's unorthodox campaign to win over those voters. |
| 0:27.0 | It's Monday, October 28th. prevailing wisdom in American politics dictates that the ground game matters, things |
